45 rpm reissues of the Mercury Living Presence recordings. As a REFERENCE, only classical/acoustic counts. Rock music is ok, but for judging accuracy you're into preference not reference with rock/pop and other heavily miked studio stuff. Nothing beats Mercury. Other Classic Reissues plus RR Mastercuts of Vox recordings of SLSO and Minneapolis are wonderful. Also Decca/Speaker's Corner. EMI very good but a little too hifi.
